I really hoped I'd never say this, but today's news puts Payday 3 in serious danger of dying within the next year. Starbreeze just announced a staff & budget cut for Payday 3 going into Year 2 so that they can shift focus to Project Baxter, making some people redundant in the process. Join me for an analysis of the report, as well as a call to action to try and stop it before it's too late.
